Is this movie for or against the death penalty? Too many plot twists, make the movie very confusing to viewers. - @Sunday, March 11, 2018 3:57 AM

VisibleKiLLah 1 second ago A great movie to watch about Austin's great minds that wanted a part of hollywood (most probaby the people who made the life of David Gale) is Holy Hell, buddhafield in Austin, TX. - @Saturday, January 20, 2018 9:44 PM

This movie sucked major balls. Look at Spacey today. You have to meet the people that made this movie. These were austins smartest minds that pulled a bunch of stupid shit to make a move that didn't surpass budget expectations. Leave making movies up to the right people in Hollywood. - @Friday, January 19, 2018 11:41 PM

I always wondered why this movie got such low ratings... fabulous concept. Cliffhanger of cliffhangers. LARGE twist at the end. Not to mention Spacey and Winslet??? Geez... - @Tuesday, March 21, 2017 3:20 PM

Hey, if Christians TRULY believe in "turn the other cheek," as Christ suggested they do whenever braced with a tough situation, like facing the murderer of a loved one, then why is it we have the Death Penalty in this "Christian" Nation? What happened to "vengeance is MINE sayeth the Lord!"? Besides, killing someone is the ULTIMATE FREEDOM CARD. If you REALLY want mother fuckers to pay, put them in prison the REST OF THEIR LIVES. That's punishment. Killing them is setting them FREE. So all this shit comes down to vengeance. Personal, butt hurt feelings that WON'T bring back the person you lost? Meanwhile, we fry INNOCENT folks at times? Yeup. - @Saturday, January 21, 2017 2:21 PM

this movie is STUNNING, i don't understand the bad reviews, maybe 'cause it's about a controversial theme (death penality)... the plot is perfect, acting peformances are faboulous. Spacey and Winslet are amazing in this movie. - @Thursday, June 23, 2016 5:43 PM

Matt Craven as Dusty was wonderful in this. It's also the first time I'd seen Melissa McCarthy, who has a small but funny role as Nico the Goth Girl. She's unrecognizable. - @Wednesday, March 4, 2015 6:13 PM

I end up accidentally seeing this because I left my HBO channel on...and I immediately got sucked into it, and despite having other plans...I watched the entire thing. It was such an amazing movie with a great underlying message. Then I look up some reviews of it and see that Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 19%? Wtf? I can't stand that website, it's like it exists just to shit on the hard work of the many great filmmakers today. - @Friday, January 23, 2015 4:52 AM

You would think this movie is about proving gale's innocence however this movie is about entirely different story. It goes beyond your imagination. It's a must watch. - @Saturday, January 17, 2015 11:47 AM

I think this is very weird butt when I was in high school I wrote a short story. I titled it exactly "The Life of David Gale" The only thing similar was the title the plot was entire different. The things thats weird is that I have never seen this movie in my life. What a coincidence eint it? - @Wednesday, September 17, 2014 8:28 AM

Damiano Chini

Dont want to spoil anything (if u havent seen it dont read anyway), but I understood everything (and i mean everything, even the very last revelation) when 50 minutes were up to be seen. I love kevin spacey, but im sorry that, after all the movies with him that ive seen, by now i learned to predict that his characters are always too intellingent to not have everything under control. Thats why i think that this movie is not great for its sensational development, but for the way it treats themes such as death and desire. - @Wednesday, July 16, 2014 12:05 AM

I love this movie. My husband got me to watch it because I believe at the time the death penalty, but once I watched it I changed my mind so much. I was one of those prolife prodeath. Which is stupid because you can't be both at the same time. I would have to say this is my top movie. Thank god we own it. - @Saturday, May 24, 2014 7:47 AM

I don't why this movie is not well appreciated by most movie websits but may be because if you really and critically think it through, most likely you will find some pieces of logic are missing. I wouldn't spoil here. However, it's must see for sure - @Saturday, December 7, 2013 7:56 AM

Am I missing something or did he frame himself... And wouldn't that mean he lied and/or omitted the truth in order to be convicted? So unless I'm missing something the movie has been vastly overrated. - @Tuesday, December 3, 2013 4:02 AM
